<p>Over 39 % (!!) of the incoming students identify themselves as members of an ethnic or racial minority group according to the university's website. What do you think ?</p>
<p>This is clearly an excellent statistic. However, I would also be interested to hear about the socio-economic diversity as well.</p>
<p>me too, yoshi...to say "diversity" based on just ethnicity is bs</p>
<p>plus, asians make up probably 20% of those minorities: hardly representative of the real world.</p>
<p>Last time I checked, more than 60% of the entire world's population was Asian. Of course, it's only 30% of the world's landmass, so I guess I see where you might be coming from.</p>
<p>Well, it as an American university, so it should be slightly more representative of the US than of the whole planet.</p>
<p>premier, there are myriads of very different cultures hosted within the term "Asian".</p>
<p>Not to mention the term "pacific islander" swallows some up.</p>
